Not enough known information[edit]

William Dodge House - Beverly (1644) [1],[2],[3]

I am struggling with this one as the sources are unclear if the house currently standing is the original or not. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Eastward Look"-"Hop Cottage" (aka "Isabelle Macy-Lamare House") - Nantucket (Siasconset) (1650 c.) [4],[5]
Sunnyside-In and Out - Nantucket (Siasconset) (1650 c.) [6]
John Scotchford - Dea. Edward Wheeler House - Concord (1655 r.) [7]
According to MHC: "While a 17th century construction date has traditionally been claimed for the building (or some portion thereof), no directly visible physical evidence diagnostic of First Period construction appears to be evident in the building." The source also suggests that a further inspection is needed to confirm a 17th century build date.
Nicholas Wade House - Scituate (1657 c.) [8]
Wade House - Scituate (1659) [9]

Houses marked in wrong time period[edit]

Elisha Jones House (Concord) - 1644 [10] - (Actual: 1740, according to the National Park Service.[11])
Capt. Gideon Woodwell House (Newburyport) - 1649 [12] - (Actual: 1750? [13], [14])
Bowerman Homestead (Falmouth) - 1650 c. [15] - (Actual: 1678, this is also called the "Bowerman-Saconesset House")
Jonathon Keyes Sr. House as "Keyes House" - 1656 (Actual: 1750)
Atkinson-Little House (Essex) - 1652 (Actual: c.1700)[16]
John Harding House (Medfield) - c.1651, may be 1677 (Actual: 1725)[17]
John Dimmick-W. Winship Sturgis House - These are former later residents of what is now the Sturgis Library (listed here).

Houses no longer extant[edit]

Watson Freeman House - Sandwich (1650 c.) Destroyed by arson in 1983. [18]

Addresses[edit]

This is just a note for curious editors, I have omitted addresses from the short description section as most of these residences are private. I mean... would you want someone to post your home address in a place where potentially hundreds of people see it per day? If an owner wants you to come by for a visit for a few pictures then they will probably have a website for the house and/or have the address more public. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:50, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
